The loud and clear cry excited Lu Yunkai, and made him walk toward the door involuntarily. He asked eagerly, "is it born?"
"Born, born." Aunt Xie's surprise voice rang out from the room, and soon the shutter opened. Aunt Xie came out with a small, tightly packed bundle in her arms.
"What happened to Xintong?" Lu Yun said and went to the house, but before he crossed the threshold, he was stopped by Aunt Xie. "It's still cleaning up. Don't go in first."
Said this, she conveniently packed the children tightly into the hands of Lu Yunkai, "look at the new Tong to your child."
Lu Yunkai's whole body was stiff, holding the soft things wrapped in a ball, and he didn't dare to exert himself for fear that he might hurt her accidentally.
"A pretty girl, as pretty as her mother." Aunt Xie said.
Lu Yunkai was stunned for a moment, "is it my daughter?"
Aunt Xie frowned, "blossom first and bear fruit later. Xintong's body is good. You can hold two in three years. Don't worry."
"Auntie, that's not what I mean." Lu Yunkai quickly explained that he had no way to tell Aunt Xie how much he liked the child. It was a child born to him by Xintong. How could he not like it? Originally, he said that if he was a boy, he would teach him a lesson. But now he knows that he is a girl. It's too late for him to give up and love her.
Lu Yunkai looked at the child's red, wrinkled face, and his heart became soft. Her eyelashes are very long, her hair is very thick, and she is a little beauty embryo. Because she is bound in the blanket, her hands and feet are uncomfortable, twisting her little body, humming and protesting from time to time.
Aunt Xie is relieved to see that Lu Yunkai really likes the child and doesn't seem to be lying. Although she is an outsider, she also looks at Xintong growing up and treats her as a daughter. If she is dissatisfied with her mother-in-law for giving birth to a daughter, she is also distressed.
The house was soon cleaned up, and song Xintong was moved to his bedroom. The doctor examined his pulse, touched his beard and said, "there is a lack of Qi and blood, and there is no problem with the rest. I'll prescribe some warm tonics and drink them, but I can't slack off when I'm in confinement."
"Good doctor."
"I've lost some medicine. Who will go to the hospital with me to get it?" The doctor brought some commonly used drugs for puerpera, such as oxytocin, life-saving drugs, hemostatic drugs, warm tonic, etc. but warm tonic just took some to boil, which was used to increase the strength of puerpera. Now it is short of weight.
"I'll take the doctor and get the medicine by the way." Poplar said immediately.
Lu Yunkai busily gave the doctor the fee and a five Liang silver red envelope, "thank you, doctor."
The doctor took the silver, felt the weight, and knew that today's trip was good. He immediately laughed with special enthusiasm: "you're welcome. This is what I should do for a doctor."
After Yang Shu and the doctor have finished the medicine together, Lu Yunkai turns around and goes back to his yard. The snowflakes are flying. The yard that he cleaned earlier has accumulated a thin layer of snowflakes. Daya is cleaning the yard. Aunt Xie and she are all in the room, talking in a low voice with song Xintong.
Song Xintong touched his flat stomach and looked at his daughter in the cradle beside him. His eyebrows were bent and his smile was thick. His whole body was full of maternal love.
"You are a blessed one. You were born in two hours." Aunt Xie said with a smile, "you see, your sister-in-law Juan was in pain in the middle of the night. She gave birth for seven or eight hours. She didn't give birth until late afternoon."
"It's not." The autumn old woman son says: "but you are also heart big, in the daytime how don't feel?"
"Some labor pains, but it's not like the heartbreaking pain that sister-in-law Juan said. I thought I was just tired when I was working in the workshop. I just wanted to go home and have a rest. I don't know..." Song Xintong really felt that he was lucky. He didn't pay attention to it, and he was able to produce it smoothly. God bless him!
"If you walk here and there in the daytime, you will be born at night." Aunt Xie said with a smile, "it's too fast."
Song Xintong laughs. She remembers that a friend of her previous life told a story. Her friend was from the countryside and later settled down in the big city. Her mother was pregnant and had a big stomach for nine months. She went to the fields to carry straw and hit the rice house to carry good rice. As a result, she gave birth at night.
It's almost the same as most farmers in Taohua village. People here go to work when they are pregnant. Some of them have no conditions for confinement and go to work after two or three days.
It's nothing for her to have such a happy life, but the pain is still real. It makes her want to give up. But I think of Lu Xiucai, her two younger brothers and tens of thousands of taels of silver in the box. She's biting her teeth to be born!
Lu Yun opened the door and walked in. Aunt Xie and they laughed at each other and went out quietly, leaving separate space for them.
Oh, No.
There is a meat ball in the cradle next to it!
Lu Yunkai sat down beside the bed and looked at Song Xintong, who was already dry and tidy. Holding her hand, he asked in a soft voice, "is there anything wrong?"
"No Song Xintong fingers in the palm of Lu Yunkai gently scratched, "is no strength."
"Sleep for a while."
Song Xintong chuckled: "mother said to eat first and then sleep." Just now, Wang's and Wang's went to Jifang to cook mashed poached eggs. They should be ready soon.
Song Xintong looked at the sleeping little girl in the cradle and asked softly, "did you see her?"
"Yes." Lu Yunkai looked along her line of sight. The little girl was very well asleep, and she was not noisy. She was very clever: "her eyes are like yours, her mouth is like yours, and her hair is very thick. In the future, she will be like your hair, long and black, and can shine."
Listening to his description, song Xintong felt that his daughter must also be a little beauty, "do you like her?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "I like it."
In this Zhou Dynasty, it was obvious that she liked her daughter, but I don't know if Lu Yunkai and Lu Mu would mind. She said cautiously and tentatively, "you said that we should teach our children poetry, poetry and Fu. Do you still teach them now?"
Lu Yunkai points his finger at Song Xintong's lips. "Girls can learn as well. I can teach her to read and read, draw and play the piano, and understand things. You can teach her needlework, manage accounts and take care of her family."
"You mustn't think about it any more. As long as it's the child you gave me, I like both men and women. I like to look like your daughter. "
Song Xintong chuckled, "this is what you said."
"Well, I said it." Lu Yunkai gently kisses song Xintong on the cheek, and leaves at a touch. She is not lustful, but full of gratitude and treasure. "My mother said that the colorful cloth she stored was finally useful. If I hadn't stopped her, she would go to make our daughter's skirt now."
